While the development of the new medium saloon (the future GS) was underway, Citroen had the idea of also producing a sports car with avant-garde lines and conception. Thus was born the SM, which was presented at the Geneva Motor Show in 1970. The mechanics were Maserati, a house that at that time was controlled by Citroen. The engine was a 2670cc V6, derived from the V8. The first version, with carburettors, remained in production until 1972, when it was replaced by the SM injection. The SM was produced until 1975. Between 1973 and 1974 an automatic transmission version was also offered. The SM intended for the USA / Canada market, produced from 1972 to 1973 had an engine increased to 2965cc. In April 1975 the Maserati was sold to De Tomaso and this put an end to the production of the SM, of which a total of 12920 units were built.

The genesis of this range began during a visit to the Citroen collection where dozens of concept cars were gathered. Some of these prototypes gave birth to mass-produced cars, but for the most part they remained forgotten works, emerging a little too rarely at motor shows and reminding us of the long journey of automotive progress in the second half of the last century. In 1:43 scale, in resin, the Franstyles stand out for their level of detail and fidelity of execution.
